Determination of the relative influences of carbon doping and disorder on field and temperature dependent critical current density of MgB2

SiC was mixed with Mg and B and reacted by either a one-step in situ or two-step method at 650 or 850 °C. By doing so, it was possible to determine the extent to which scattering via C doping influences the magnitude of field dependent critical current density, Jc(H), compared to pinning via generat...
